Thank for the contributions of hundreds of researchers, conservation organizations, scholars, and community rangers. Conducting fundamental research and surveys is no easy task. May the shared home of humans and snow leopards continue to thrive.

Habitat fragmentation is a big threat to biodiversity worldwide. In the Gobi Desert, @WCS_Mongolia studies its effect on wildlife. They also work with nomadic herders (here recently placing GPS collars on livestock) to understand how fenced railways impact livestock and people.

With🌍temperatures rising 2.26°C in 80 years and 76.9% of Mongolia's land facing degradation, the amazing #GobiDesert gives us some hope. As #COP16Riyadh addresses land restoration, Mongolia's experience offers valuable lessons. See how @theGEF, @MECCMongolia & @UNDP are driving community-led solutions & sustainable land management in 🇲🇳 go.undp.org/JTa

Alexander et al. explored the perceptions of hunters and pastoralists regarding the return of the Eurasian lynx to the French Alps. Although some had concerns, respondents generally tolerated the species and expressed willingness to coexist peacefully 🐾 doi.org/np39
